Notes and Quotes: Mel Tucker and the Michigan State Spartans “want to get it done in the worst way”

On Saturday night, the Michigan State Spartans snuck out with the win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in overtime. In the postgame press conference, a few MSU players and head coach Mel Tucker answered some questions and gave some insights into what was going on in their heads throughout the game.

First out to take questions were quarterback Payton Thorne and wide receiver Jayden Reed. When asked about the 62-yard punt return touchdown, Reed said it was something that the Spartans had been working on in practice for a few weeks.

“Probably two seconds after it was punted, I (saw) a wave of white and red go that way and I said like ‘Yeah, that’s six,’” Reed said.
